After reading other people's comments and the relevant review materials of the movie, I know the ins and outs of this movie. Even so, when I haven't read the novel, I still can't understand the plot, which is a bit baffling.
But it's not a matter of reading others' opinions and agreeing to prove that their IQ is not lower than the average level. It is not necessary to casually search for the production technology of the following movies themselves, and they do not understand the true style of the original work and pretend to be an expert.
I recommend it because I learned about some unknown world, the so-called cyberpunk, and know the original author Philip Dick. Through Tom and the Wikipedia he has represented, I know the culture behind a series of sci-fi movies such as "Terminator", "The Fifth Element", "Twelve Monkeys" and "The Matrix".
The recommendation may not be the film itself, but the culture it represents, and the director's unique shooting method will also cause some thinking about the future of the film industry. The film itself is also an interpretation of a cultural phenomenon.
Even so, I still hope to understand it. Of course, since it was released on a small scale in the United States, the director must not want you to understand it too much. The mental turmoil of your own thoughts may be the effect the director asked for. Just like "The Matrix", most people's so-called understanding is only superficial, and they agree with what they don't know. Of course, it is also a movie that I don't understand very well.
